[Intro] [Soft piano + low bass hum] [Ad‑lib:] ("Yeah… still in the fight… T.Y.S.O.N…") "Let It Go!" [Verse 1] I came up on the block, where the old ways reigned Lived for the flash, lived for what the world called gain Thirteen years in a bond, tangled deep in the kink & the haze Thought I knew desire, thought I had it all figured out in those days Made tracks for the crowd, chasing praise from man’s own tongue Built my name on the noise, on the things the world called fun Once made content for the eyes that crave the dark Walked the wide road, didn’t know I was lost in the mark Then the truth broke through — started reading the Word, started seeing the light Learned what I thought was faith was just a shadow, just a night Found the teaching of Truth Of God Ministries, the 2819 Church too Started writing these songs just to learn what the Father would do Turned my back on the old craft, laid the worldly beats down Set my face toward the narrow way, trying to keep my ground. [Chorus] Still fighting the flesh — though the truth I know Still seeing the lures everywhere I go TV’s calling, streets are calling, thoughts rise up inside Yahweh give me strength — keep my spirit tied Still fighting the flesh — every single day I’m turning toward the light, walking in His way Not fully where I need to be, but I’m not where I was I’m pressing toward the prize because the Lord is good because! [Verse 2] I thought once I turned, the pull would fade away But temptation’s waiting every step of the way My mind still wanders — old inclinations creep in Flesh has its weaknesses, even when the spirit wins I know the warning — don’t give place to the old desire Keep my eyes fixed on Him, don’t feed the wrong fire Romans seven tells me — the good I want I sometimes miss The wrong I hate still lingers, in the places deep inside of this No excuse for the slip‑ups, no blame to pass around Just a man on the journey, trying to stand his ground Every morning I pray — Lord, keep my heart guarded Keep me from returning to the life I departed [Chorus] Still fighting the flesh — though the truth I know Still seeing the lures everywhere I go TV’s calling, streets are calling, thoughts rise up inside Yahweh give me strength — keep my spirit tied Still fighting the flesh — every single day I’m turning toward the light, walking in His way Not fully where I need to be, but I’m not where I was I’m pressing toward the prize because the Lord is good because! [Verse 3] So I keep on studying, keep on writing these lines Keep on leaning on the Word when the pressure climbs From the old ghetto ignorance to the truth I now receive Every step forward is a gift that I believe [Dj Scratching] "T.Y.S.O.N" This is my confession, my testimony sound I’m still in the battle, but the Lord has me bound When the world calls back to the things I left behind I lift my voice to Yahweh Let His truth remind. [Chorus] Still fighting the flesh — though the truth I know Still seeing the lures everywhere I go TV’s calling, streets are calling, thoughts rise up inside Yahweh give me strength — keep my spirit tied Still fighting the flesh — every single day I’m turning toward the light, walking in His way Not fully where I need to be, but I’m not where I was I’m pressing toward the prize because the Lord is good because! [Outro] [Piano fades slow] Still fighting… Still pressing… [END]
